Burnley are rumoured to have tabled an £11.8m bid for Andone's services as recently as Wednesday as Dyche eyes back up to the likes of Sam Vokes and Ashley Barnes but, when pressed further on reports about any strikers he wanted to buy, Dyche refused to clarify who he was in for.

He added: "We want to be private and confidential as best we can about our business. It's very rare messages come out of our club."
